CORE--HUMAN ASSESSMENT AND BIOSTATISTICS

人类评估和生物统计核心(HABC核心)将发挥作用 作为拟议的#年特别研究中心的组成部分发挥不可或缺的作用 睡眠和睡眠呼吸暂停的神经生物学。核心的具体目标 (功能)是：1)为数据提供创新的生物统计解决方案 分析临床和基础科学SCOR项目带来的挑战； 2)提供集中的统计方案编制和数据管理 为人类项目(项目01和05)和动物提供资源 03项目临床试验组成部分及非常规实施 项目04(腺苷)的统计方法；3)研究， 制定和评估新的和现有的：a)人力评估 工具，b)衡量方式，c)后续战略；以及 4)维护和扩展临床研究支持数据库(CRSD) 促进科目招聘，并提供途径 方法和技术转让。临床研究支持数据 BASE(CRSD)是一个多中心患者登记系统，用于多个 不同但又相互关联的方式。它的四个主要功能是：1) 帮助筛选纳入和排除患者的过程 项目01和05的标准；2)通过以下方式支持人类项目 提供访问人口统计信息、症状报告、体检 所有研究的评估和通宵多导睡眠图结果 参与者；3)通过提供访问 对现有的和新的进行心理测量评估的大量人群 测量仪器，并便于辅助分析；4) 促进研究成果向临床实践的技术转化。 Core C组建了一支经验丰富的数据分析团队，其中包括 具有与项目合作的丰富经验的生物统计学家 领导、高级统计程序员、数据经理和数据办事员 使用最先进的统计软件(SAS/TM)。核心将服务于 作为实施统计分析的主要机制 来自项目01和项目05的数据，来自临床试验 组件，并将实现调和回归 对项目04进行分析，并为所有项目提供生物统计。

The Human Assessment and Biostatistical Core (HABC Core) will play an integral role as part of the proposed Special Center of Research in Neurobiology of Sleep and Sleep Apnea. The Core's specific aims (functions) are: 1) to provide innovative biostatistical solutions to data analysis challenges arising from clinical and basic science SCOR projects; 2) to provide centralized statistical programming and data management resource to the human projects (Projects 01 and 05) and the animal clinical trial component of Project 03 and to implement non-routine statistical methodology for Project 04 (adenosine); 3) to research, develop, and assess the utility of new and existing: a) human assessment instruments, b) measurement modalities, and c) follow-up strategies; and 4) to maintain and expand the Clinical Research Support Data Base (CRSD) to facilitate subject recruitment and to provide a means for methodological and technology transfer. The Clinical Research Support Data Base (CRSD) is a multi-center patient registry used in a number of distinct but inter-related ways. Its four primary functions are: 1) to help in the process of screening patients for inclusion and exclusion criteria for Projects 01 and 05; 2) to support the human projects by providing access to demographic information, symptom reports, physical assessments, and results from overnight polysomnography for all study participants; 3) to support the human projects by providing access to a large population for psychometric evaluation of existing and new measurement instruments, and to facilitate ancillary analyses; 4) to foster technology transfer of research results into clinical practice. Core C puts together an experienced data analysis team including a biostatistician with extensive experience collaborating with Project Leaders, a senior statistical programmer, data manager, and data clerk all using state-of-the-art statistical software (SAS/TM). The Core will serve as the primary mechanism of the implementation of statistical analyses of data arising from Project 01 and Project 05, from the clinical trial component of Project 03, and will implement the harmonic regression analyses for Project 04 as well as provide biostatistical to all Projects.
